Jacksonville Jaguars Hire Doug Pederson as New Head Coach

Former Eagles Coach Returns to the NFL After a Year Away

Pederson Brings a Wealth of Experience and a Super Bowl Victory to Jacksonville

The Jacksonville Jaguars have hired former Philadelphia Eagles head coach Doug Pederson as their new head coach, the team announced on Tuesday. Pederson, who led the Eagles to a Super Bowl victory in 2018, has been out of coaching since being fired by the Eagles following the 2020 season.

Pederson brings a wealth of experience to Jacksonville, having spent 13 seasons in the NFL as a coach, including five as a head coach. Prior to his tenure with the Eagles, Pederson was the offensive coordinator for the Kansas City Chiefs from 2013 to 2015.

The Jaguars are hoping that Pederson can help turn around a franchise that has struggled in recent years. The Jaguars have only one winning season since 2010 and have not made the playoffs since 2017.

Pederson is a proven winner, having led the Eagles to a Super Bowl victory in 2018. He also has a strong track record of developing quarterbacks, having worked with Donovan McNabb, Alex Smith, and Carson Wentz at various points throughout his coaching career.

The Jaguars are hoping that Pederson can bring similar success to Jacksonville. The team has a young and talented roster, but it has not been able to reach its potential in recent years. Pederson is a respected coach with a proven track record, and the Jaguars are hoping that he can help them turn things around.
